"Comrade Ren, why did you call me here?" Yang Qiujin poked her head towards the toilet door, and as she expected, the person inside was the petite Ren Ying.
"Sister Yang, can you come in and talk?" Ren Ying's petite face was pale and she looked like she would faint at any moment.
Yang Qiujin hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."
In an age when spies are everywhere, she would not easily trust a stranger when she is out and about. However, she had no grudge against Ren Ying, and Ren Ying looked very petite. Even if someone wanted to harm her, she had the confidence to deal with it.
The most important thing is, if Ren Ying really needs help, as a military wife, she feels that she has the obligation to help the weak.
She walked towards the toilet door that Ren Ying had opened with a narrow slit. Chen Shengqing and others nervously watched her every move. As soon as she walked in, Ren Ying, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly closed the door quickly and inserted the door sheath from the inside.
"!!!"
Chen Shengqing and others outside were shocked. Chen Shengqing's first reaction was to kick the door. As soon as he raised his foot, he heard Yang Qiujin's voice: "Shengqing, I'm fine, don't worry."
"Are you sure?" Chen Shengqing held the military dagger in his hand. His muscles were tense, his eyes were sharp, and he was full of evil aura. He was like a tiger that was ready to attack, ready to kill its prey at any time.
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. I'm not the kind of person who will be bullied." Yang Qiujin's calm and composed voice came from inside.
"It's best if you're okay. If you need help, just let me know. I'll be waiting for you outside." Chen Shengqing thought about her tough character and her unwillingness to suffer any loss. She would never lie to him about these things and play with her own life. So she relaxed, folded the saber in her hand, and put it in the pocket of her military pants behind her back.
In the narrow and cramped toilet, a strong smell of blood permeated.
Ren Ying was sitting behind the toilet door, her legs were covered in blood, and her little face was frighteningly pale.
She stretched out her bloody fingers, grasped the arm of Yang Qiujin, who was squatting in front of her, and said with a weak breath, "Sister Yang, help me, help me get rid of this evil seed in my belly."
Yang Qiujin was shocked: "Are you pregnant?"
She didn't notice anything at all. No wonder when Ren Ying got on the bus, the suitcase couldn't be lifted onto the upper bunk bed. It turned out that she was pregnant and was wearing loose clothes that covered her belly.
"It's been more than six months." Ren Ying's eyes were filled with tears and she looked humiliated. "I was raped by a beast. He was powerful and my parents didn't dare to offend him. After they knew I was pregnant, they forced me to marry him. I didn't want to, so I begged my teacher to buy me a train ticket to the border. I came to the border to escape."
Yang Qiujin was shocked again, "How could your parents treat you like this? They are beasts who hurt you. Why didn't they help you call the police to arrest the man and seek justice? Why did they want you to marry that beast?"
Ren Ying cried bitterly, "Sister Yang, not all parents can be called parents, and not all parents love their children. They never loved me, and it was them who brought that beast in to rape me, just to make me marry that beast so that they could get a lot of benefits."
Yang Qiujin was stunned, and suddenly remembered her father, who had framed himself for a widow to clear his name. Yang Chenghua never loved her as a daughter, and regarded an outsider as more important than her.
Yang Qiujin felt sad and her eyes turned red. She patted Ren Ying's shoulder gently and asked, "How can I help you?"
"I didn't want to give birth to the bastard child of someone who raped me, so before I left, I asked my teacher to prescribe me an abortion drug. I saw that we were getting close to the border, so I drank it, but it didn't have much of an effect, so I could only go to the toilet and pound my stomach hard... Now the bleeding won't stop, and I feel like I'm going to die."
Ren Ying's face was full of tears. She clutched Yang Qiujin's arm tightly, like grasping a straw. "Sister Yang, I don't want to die. I had a great life, but it was ruined by my parents! It was useless for me to call the police for help. That person had too many connections and no one could take care of him. I finally escaped from the devil's den. As long as I get to the border and the farm, I can start a new life. I can't die here because of a bad seed! But I don't want others to know about my unbearable experience and be laughed at by everyone. I really have nowhere to turn to, so I can only ask you for help. You are a military wife, I can see that you are a good person, you will help me, right?"
Yang Qiujin sighed: "You are a brave girl. Brave people should not be treated unfairly."
Nowadays, there are many girls like Ren Ying who are betrayed and humiliated by their biological parents. Most girls choose to accept their fate and marry those who hurt them, suffering humiliation and harm for a lifetime.
A small number of people couldn't stand it and just hanged themselves or jumped into the river to end it all. There were almost no girls like Ren Ying who dared to resist.
Yang Qiujin liked girls who dared to love and hate, because she was the type of person who had such a personality. After confirming Ren Ying's situation, she opened the toilet door, whispered a few words in Chen Shengqing's ear, and said to the outside world: "The female comrade inside had her period, which was quite severe. She didn't bring any paper towels, and she was too shy to leave the toilet, so she asked me for help."
The flight attendant and the police officer were skeptical, so Chen Shengqing turned around and left. He soon came back with some borrowed paper towels, painkillers, and a bottle of two-pot noodles and handed them to Yang Qiujin.
Yang Qiujin took the things and closed the door again, gave the medicine to Ren Ying, put some tissue paper under her buttocks, and motioned her to take off her pants, "I have to help you check your miscarriage. If necessary, I may help you clean your uterus with my bare hands. In this case, you may get an infection, and the bleeding will be more severe, which is life-threatening. I actually suggest that you ask the crew for help and ask them to help you find experienced medical staff in the carriage. After all, I'm not a doctor, nor am I an experienced midwife. I just helped deliver a few piglets in our team..."
"I won't look for them." Ren Ying said firmly, "Those doctors are all connected by files. What if they can't keep their mouths shut and tell our doctors about me? If that beast finds out, he will definitely chase me to the border and beat me again. In that case, either he dies or I die! I don't want to go to the last step and lose my life. Sister Yang, go ahead. Life and death is my personal business. I will never blame you."
"You don't trust those doctors, but you trust me. Do you think that I am a soldier's wife and will protect the people like the soldiers?" Yang Qiujin opened the second pot and poured the wine on her hands as a disinfectant. "You silly girl, the quality of soldiers' wives varies. Not all of them are kind-hearted and willing to help others. You should be glad that you found me..."
Half an hour later, the toilet door was opened again, and the bloodstains inside were wiped clean by Yang Qiujin with paper towels.
She helped the pale Ren Ying out, and under the concerned gaze of the flight attendants, helped Ren Ying lie down on her lower berth, letting her lie there to rest.
Chen Shengqing was not the kind of person who was curious about gossip. He did not ask any more questions about what Yang Qiujin had done and what she had kept secret. He only said, "When you have free time in the army, I will teach you some fighting and grappling techniques. When I am not by your side, you will be able to protect yourself if you are in danger."
Yang Qiujin was amused. "Most men like women who are docile, gentle, soft and generous. But you are different. I have a bad temper to begin with, but you still want to teach me how to fight and capture. Are you afraid that I am not aggressive enough and you can't beat me when we quarrel?"
"No matter how powerful you are, you can never defeat me." Chen Shengqing smiled slightly, his deep eyes full of confidence, "When I was young, I might have liked that kind of gentle and generous girl, but now I am no longer that young boy, and I like women who are hot-tempered. Such women may seem to have a bad temper, but in fact they are tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and they don't have that many schemes. They are many times stronger than those weak women who can't carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands."
"You're not talking about me, are you?" Yang Qiujin sneered, "You don't have to say these glib words to please me."
Chen Shengqing didn't explain. He smiled and grabbed Chen Tianyou who was about to run away again, carried him to the upper bunk, and pressed his belly with one hand, "Tianyou, sleep with daddy for a while, let's see who falls asleep first. If you fall asleep first, daddy will buy you White Rabbit milk candy when we get to Wushi."
“Okay, let’s compete!” Chen Tianyou was at the age when he loved to eat sweets. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He lay down on the bed obediently, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Yang Qiujin went to lie down on the upper bunk bed of Ren Ying to rest. During this time, she came down from time to time to see if Ren Ying had fainted from excessive blood loss or was in danger of life.
Fortunately, apart from being very weak, Ren Ying had no other problems and kept thanking her.
The train rumbled along, and the scenery outside the window had turned into an endless Gobi desert. No large green plants could be seen on the vast yellow-gray land. Occasionally, strange-shaped poplar trees and some sand grasses such as thorny teeth and camel grass flashed outside the window, but there were more bare stones and endless gravel.
In such a desolate place, there are still some villages. The houses are all made of earth, low and dilapidated, looking poor and backward.
The train passed along the rails between the villages, creating a strong wind that blew a cloud of yellow dust everywhere, making the houses look even grayer.
A lot of the dust flew into the open windows of the train, and the inexperienced young passengers were covered in a thick layer of dust. Many young people coughed and tried to close the windows, swearing all the time.
"Fuck, what kind of place is this? Why is it so barren and so fucked!"
"Should we be sent to a place like this to carry out labor construction?"
"Why, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid of anything. I just think these places are too barren and too harsh. There are hardly any plants. How can crops be grown?"
......
Amid the bustle of conversation, the train soon arrived at the station and the leaders of the border support team began to call out the names in the carriage.
The young people whose names were called wailed and reluctantly followed the leader off the bus, carrying the few packages they had.
After a team of fifty people got off the train, the train started again and stopped at three relatively deserted and remote platforms in succession. After at least one-third of the young people in the carriage got off, the direction the train was heading to finally didn't seem so desolate.
Green vegetation gradually increased, and more and more houses were built, from a village to a town, from a town to a county, and finally developed into a larger city. The loudspeaker sounded - "The final stop, Wushi, all passengers please get off!"
